A “Living World RPG” is a NEW game genre made possible by the Living Eorld Engine; where the environment and its inhabitants respond dynamically to player actions and events, creating unique experiences.

Unlike other open-world games, a Living World RPG features a world where characters have their own lives, routines, and stories that evolve over time. Player choices and past events shape future interactions, allowing for a butterfly effect that impacts the entire game world. This creates a sense of depth and realism, making the world feel alive as it changes and reacts to the unfolding narrative.

While ChatGPT is designed for general conversation, our Living World Engine – the AI behind Tidefall — is built specifically for immersive RPG experiences. It blends advanced AI with human-written narratives and a detailed memory to create dynamic, evolving game worlds – personalised to each player’s journey.

Your choices shape everything in Tidefall – from relationships with NPCs to the world’s fate. Decisions range from dialogue, battles, to moral dilemmas – all of which have lasting consequences, even your own death. Make your journey in Tidefall uniquely yours – do you want to save the world or be the bringer of destruction.

At Infinity Fiction we believe that AI cannot replicate the soul that comes from human creativity. Our mission is to harness ‘responsible AI’ as a tool that empowers creators, helping them scale their work, reach new audiences, and retain control over their intellectual property.

Within our games Generative-AI acts just as an interface for players, bringing to life game worlds, stories and moments that have been written by talented human writers and operates strictly within a set of creative boundaries, whilst still being able to provide unique experiences. To achieve this we have developed a new method of world building that has given birth to a new genre: Living World Games.

Tidefall is an extremely ambitious project, designed to push the genre into something far more immersive than what’s traditionally been possible. The world features thousands of unique NPCs, locations, and creatures, each with their own portraits and imagery. Using AI has not replaced any roles at Infinity Fiction, it has allowed our vision for Tidefall to exist. While Tidefall uses AI imagery as part of its development, we also work with IPs and future games that do not rely on AI art assets whatsoever.

As an indie studio, we chose to use AI tools (including Midjourney and other models) to generate base artwork and animations specifically to support this scale and level of immersion. Images are manually reviewed, cleaned, and refined by our team to remove artifacts and ensure quality and consistency. This type of experience, at this scale, simply would not be possible without the help of AI.

None of Tidefall’s sound effects, ambience, or music are created using AI; they are fully composed and designed by our in-house composer and delivered through our custom-built sound engine.

Tidefall is currently in development however we have multiple playtests planned over the coming months, keep an eye out in our discord or sign up to the waitlist for updates on current playtests and see if you can start playing today!
